Yeah squatting 600 pounds doesn't mean a lot...
Video tape your attempt..
All of this frustration and negative talk would basically evaporate if we'd beaten Florida. I'm afraid that loss will carry over to the rest of the season and perhaps into next year.
The 2001 loss in the SECCG to LSU carried over for years......
Squatting 600 pounds doesn't mean a lot. Remember how we were told how significant that was by Butch.
Two of the strongest Olinemen don't even play. I think Jones would like to have some of Dooley's weaklings back now.
He inherited a train wreck. Its not his fault we have no talent on the o line. We are a better football team with CBJ. The team plays hard and with passion. The defense is playing as well as we could ever expect.It's all massive amounts of spin. He may buy enough time to turn things around, but I swear Butch has been more salesman since the day he got here.
Well let's just recruit olympic power lifters, then we'll win games.:crazy: Squatting 600 lbs (though impressive) doesn't automatically make you a good lineman! Do you have a lick of football sense? Did you ever even play the game?
Speed.speed .speed its the only thing that can not be tought. Improved some? Yes. Players will always get stronger.Nope. I was smart; I played soccer.
And my original post was to point out that saying "squatting 600 pounds doesnt mean much" is misleading. But by all means explain to me how getting jacked in the weight room doesn't translate to improvement on the football field because I obviously don't understand the difference between muscular development and sporting talent..

true. I'm excited in what coach thig said a few weeks back "you will continue to see our lb's and defense as a whole get faster and faster.Hamstring curls, dead lifts, stretch out that hammy, instant speed! lol:
The only speed thing that can be taught would be proper arm movement and body position but that being applied to football is only going to be able to be exploited if you are running in a straight line. You can train up dexterity. I'm sure better/quicker footwork on the line would help. They need more box jumps and tire runs!
What about how much they leg curl? I think that's important...So on the OP's original point, who are the two strong O-lineman that aren't playing? I remember Butch saying something about a bunch of players now squatting 600 lbs but I don't remember him naming names.
I always take weight lifting figures I don't witness with a grain of salt. An S&C coach has a lot of motivation to cheat the numbers. I'd rather have them talking about how much they squat though then how much they curl or leg press so it's probably a win.
Based on what I've heard Sanders and Kendrick.So on the OP's original point, who are the two strong O-lineman that aren't playing? I remember Butch saying something about a bunch of players now squatting 600 lbs but I don't remember him naming names.

Weisman especially nothing but praise for that guy previously. It's damn odd.

Actually I would assume clean and jerk would be an important move the oline would work on.
